Hi Alex, Jumbo frames are a function the network layer. Kafka operates at a higher level in the stack and is thus not aware of ethernet frame sizes. It will work fine as long as all network interfaces and devices in your kafka data path are set to support jumbo frames. If the end-to-end is not set to jumbo frames, you will most likely see dropped or fragmented packets.
